Vehicle Detail
1978 Suzuki PE175(C).This PE is 100 % stock and original with the exception of a couple of small things that being (the Pro Taper grips,Uni Air Filter and Tusk hand guards and D.I.D. Chain & Sprockets.Bike had been sitting in the cellar for a while so I decided to get it running for my son to ride who is 18(But he`s just not into it).The bike has had many parts changed with ALL FACTORY oem Suzuki parts.Fresh gas and carb cleaning with a new plug and she fired right up.I went a little beyond that.I put fresh gas with Golden Spectro,NEW NGK plug,Suzuki 10W40 oil,Suzuki Tank Stickers,New UNI air filter(along with PJ1 Foam Filter oil),Front & Rear brake shoes,Front Tire and tube(IRC)(Could use rear tire-knobbys still decent but has some dry rot),Swingarm bearings and spacers-with new grease fitting and grease,Front sprocket spacer,oring,seal,washer,Headlight bulb,Magneto cover gasket,7 Clutch drive plates,6 Clutch driven plates,Clutch cover gasket(again all OEM Suzuki),Gas tank strap,Fuel-pet cock,Fuel line,Carb float bowl gasket,Float,Needle & seat Assembly,Valve seat gaskets,Throttle stop screw O-ring,Pilot air screw O-ring,Pilot jet,Main jet,Drain plug O-ring,Front Wheel bearings,Rear Wheel bearings,Kick starter rubber boot.Chain buffer,Upper & Lower chain rollers.The bike is at a point where you can ride it,which it is being ridden easily right now or take it to the next point and make it just a piece in your collection.Doesnt need much to get there.I mean isnt mint but it`s probably one of the nicest PE`S out there.This bike still has the ORIGINAL spark plug tool that comes with the bike and is held on with the Black O-Ring to the triple clamps(how many times have you seen that),Exhaust pipe and Spark arrestor are dent free,trip meter,high/low beam switch and kill switch all work fine.Front fender it faded,rear fender still looks nice,Fork boots have a couple of little-nothing slices,seat cover has a couple of rips or splits or whatever you want to call them as you can see in pics.Break it completely down,wash and paint whats needed-which is not much,re-assemble,change the side covers,front fender,seat cover-park it and look at it in your collection.Those are the things I would do to finish this bike off if I wasnt going to ride it anymore.But fork boots and seat cover arent to bad after 40 years.I DO HAVE PAPERWORK WITH THE BIKE. If you want I have whatever old parts I changed all boxed up which you can have EXAMPLE-carb parts,clutch plates,etc. Believe it or not the OEM side covers are still available. COULD PULL AUCTION AT ANYTIME DUE TO I JUST ALSO LISTED THE BIKE LOCALLY. Because of age of bike parts are extremely cheap. YOU CAN PICK THE BIKE UP IN PERSON OR I CAN HELP WITH ARRANGING SHIPPING. (Just lowered the price-this is a nice old school bike for the money).
